The DMV website has started partially working again, but its offices remain closed as these have been for the entire week, as the state continues to grapple with a cyberattack last weekend which has also affected the Nevada Health Authority, DETR and the Department of Human Services.
"It's frustrating. I understand," Governor Joe Lombardo said Thursday during a press conference. "I am confident in our response."
While some agencies are starting to come back online, Governor Lombardo urged the public to call 211 if they need help.
Many Nevadans expressed concern Lombardo was not present at an earlier state update on Wednesday.
"This press conference is not intended to address my absence. I'm here taking care of business and have never swayed from my responsibility as your governor," Lombardo said.
There is a website on energy.nv.org giving updates, currently indicating “Recovery is in progress. Some services may be unavailable or delayed.”
“At this time, there is no verified evidence that personal information was compromised. The State will share confirmed updates as appropriate,” it indicates.
The earlier press conference indicated a "sophisticated ransomware-based attack" by malicious actors caused data to be moved out of Nevada, crippling government services this week.
